Welcome to Davidson Creek Library
Hello and welcome to Davidson Creek Elementary and the Library Learning Commons! I am so excited to be sharing a love of reading, learning and discovery in this beautiful new space.
Students, I would love to hear what you have been reading over the summer as well as what some of your favourite books are. If you need any suggestions of what to read next, I can also share with you some of my favourite titles or you can click here to see a list of some of my favourites.
Did you know you can look for library books on the Destiny website? You can even rate and review books, as well as find links to fun websites.
